My Therapy: Writer's Block

Therapy Disclaimer

I am a reluctant stay at home mom nearing the end of my term. I am a recovering "Suzy Homemaker". I curse. I say what's on my mind. I hope that I say things that other people are thinking, just don't have the guts to say. I hope to make people laugh at or with me. I hope not to offend too many people, but know there have been a few and am quite certain there will be several more.

So, if you are looking for a dysfunctional view on mothering, being a woman , and life- you may not be disappointed here. If you are still Suzy Homemaker and think that everyone should be, I might just make you want to vomit.

Writer's Block

I'm all about truth, so here, it is... I drafted a post about my husband getting on my last nerve since he's been off for 4 days, not helping out around here and being a huge wimp (did not use that terminology, either) because he has a cold. I thought it was a little harsh and didn't know if anyone would want to read my venting about the sniffling lump that's been laying on my couch, and rightly so.

Frankly, I could not think of anything clever, smart, funny, or remotely entertaining to share. I stalled. I procrastinated. I surfed the web. I watched Weeds (thumbs up, by the way, almost peed my pants when I saw Celia's makeover!)... but, still, I got nothin'!

Then, lo and behold I found this little gem. It made me almost pee my pants for the second time tonight- (can you say incontinence?) I thought it was friggin' funny or maybe those little bastard beetles are breeding in my head and making me insane.

Jill said...: That's not a sewing machine? I have been staring at that photo in my reader wondering why some guy in a tux is holding a sewing machine... I thought it was symbolizing that he sewed his own dress clothes.

Clearly my brain is not working tonight.; June 24, 2008 at 11:42 PM

Tena said...: that sewing machine is awfully small, maybe it is really a bedazzler and his date needed help with her dress??? Really that part trumps the UPS van in the ditch, lol; June 25, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Ann Harrison said...: "A sewing machine in the hand is worth a UPS truck in the bush"??????
